Suitable inspired, I had a go at this because I'm sick of looking at the great things other people have made and never having a go myself. I thought I'd start 'easy' and try the key-fob-paracord-thingy-doo-dah using the instructions on the SCOUBIE site. I though that, if an eight-year-old girl can do it, it should be no problem for an educated 35-year-old fella.

I have to say, I gave up after half an hour. :censored: These girls are good. My efforts looked more like your small intestine than a key fob. :eek:

So, I had a sulk and then looked at the thread again. This time, I tried the www.sosakonline.com instructions mentioned above. I actually found these much simpler and, althought I only wanted to make something a couple of inches long, I'm afraid a got carried away and ended up with something about a foot long just for the practice. It was actually quite therapeutic!

So, I'm going to make another one (smaller) and then have a go at something else. Thanks for starting this thread - it now means that I can carry a good length of paracord around and it looks quite decorative.

Great work there, but you might want to drop the image size for those that do not have Broadband and large monitors. I think that there used to be a guide/suggestion that you don't include images with a width not more than 800 pixels so that you do not have to scroll or wait for the images to download. Don't mean to tread on any Mods toes.
